In close proximity to Berlin’s government district is to be found the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, a centre for cultural and artistic dialogue. The former West Berlin Congress Hall, the building was an American 'gift' in 1957.
In an exhibition entitled "Between Walls and Windows", ten international artists and architects are now exploring precisely the relationship between architecture and ideology.
The huge building, renamed "House of The World's Cultures" in the 1980ies, is easily reacheable with a short walk from Hauptbahnhof or with the bus 100 from Alexanderplatz!
The programme is rich and the entrance free. Enjoy it!

In live and close to this building does not look as beautiful as it seems in the photo, but overall, it still seemed pretty to me. Especially if you look at it not separately, but in a kind of composition "the center itself, the pond and the sculpture in the center of the pond".

Nice place to walk around, it has a vintage vibe to it and has a nice view from the deck. You can see the tv Tower and the building where Angela Merkel’s office is!

This concert hall is located in the park not far from the Parliarment building and is next to the Carillon. This review is not about the restaurant and the performance, rather about the building itself. It was built by an American architech as the International Building Exhibition and was given to the (then) West Germany as a gift. The Sculpture was done by Henrry Moore. According to the history, building was rebuilt after the roof collapsed in 1980, and the sculpture were rebuilt to the same design due to damaged by nature and vandalism. At present the builting is known as the NJational Center for International Art and focusing on non-European. Even without the events, the buidling is worth visiting for some photos. By the way, Presidnet Kennedy spoke here duing his visit to Berlin.

This is a concert hall with an interesting architecture. It is shaped liked a clam.
The surrounding area is very quiet and nice to sit and relax.

As part of our visit to Berlin we attended an open air concert which was great fun. The complete festival is called Goodbye UK - and Thank You for the Music. We heard Anushka and Mexrrissey. Refreshments and stalls were on hand. The setting is very fine with open grounds and large open terraces. Inside there are different spaces for other kinds of events. Check out the programmes and take a trip over there.

We passed it a few times on the 100 bus and once we learned more about the locally nicknamed pregnant oyster we decided to pay it a quick visit. It is very peaceful and has a nice cafe / restaurant and has music concerts at times. Very nicely secluded from the main tourist spots but beautifully located down the road between the Siegessaule and Reichstag and backing onto water.

The cafe is at teh back of the theatre, looking at the River Spree.
We stopped for lunch and had very reasonable price and good quality drinks and sandwiches, with lots of choice.
Service was friendly and quick.
Highly recommended.

We were told that HKW didn't get too much traffic because it is somewhat isolated from other sites but that is precisely the charm. Plan your trip here to soak in what's on the program but also to take in Tiergarten which is an extensive park with trails, waterviews and chance encounters with rabbits and I'm told, foxes. Wish I had more time to explore.

Very impressive venue, it is somewhat remoniscent of post-utopian architecture and style. Located in the centre of Tiergarten, it makes a very charismatic location in park surroundings. Usually hosts exhibitions, conferences, Berlinale screenings.
